<p>Just stumbled across the fact that Syracuse requires 4 years of science? Is this really true? Have people been admitted with three years (all lab). FWIW it is freshman year that lacks science. Soph thru senior year all have lab science with good grades soph and junior year (presently a junior).</p>
<p>No, I took three years and made it. They look at the whole student, and things like that get forgotten or explained away. Use your essay or interview to explain it if you want. Or get chummy with someone in the visitor's office (someone real, not an ambassador like me). They'll go to bat for you if you make your interest known and explain your situation to them.</p>
<p>i took 3.5 yrs. it's fine</p>
